Degenerative disc disease can cause serious neck problems. While anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is common, cervical total disc arthroplasty offers an alternative surgical option.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spine Surgery

Background:

  • Degenerative disc disease, cervical spondylosis, and stenosis are prevalent clinical conditions.
  • These conditions can lead to progressive cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy, causing significant patient impairment.
  • Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is an established surgical treatment for these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce cervical total disc arthroplasty as an alternative surgical procedure to ACDF.
  • To highlight the limitations associated with ACDF.
  • To provide an overview of emerging surgical options for cervical degenerative conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on ACDF and cervical total disc arthroplasty.

  • Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each surgical technique.
  • Comparison of outcomes and complication profiles.

    • Main Results:

    • ACDF has limitations including loss of cervical range of motion, adjacent segment disease, pseudoarthrosis, graft-related complications, dysphagia, and approach risks.
    • Cervical total disc arthroplasty has emerged as a viable alternative to ACDF.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the long-term outcomes of cervical total disc arthroplasty.

    Conclusions:

    • Cervical total disc arthroplasty presents a promising alternative to ACDF for managing degenerative disc disease and associated cervical conditions.
    • The choice of surgical procedure should be individualized based on patient factors and surgeon expertise.
    • Continued evaluation of cervical total disc arthroplasty is essential to establish its role in spine surgery.
